ROTWILD USER MANUAL | 2014
Falls or accidents
If your bike has been damaged in a fall or acci-
dent, it should no longer be used. Any damage
is a potential cause for loss of control over your
bike. This could lead to a fall or accident in
which you and/or other persons may be injured.
Any damage should be repaired immediately. If
you are unable to perform the repairs yourself,
please contact a qualified professional repair
workshop.
Maximum permitted overall weight / load
carrying
•
Please make sure before riding your bike that
the maximum permitted overall weight of your
ROTWILD bike of 120 kg (incl. bike, rider and
gear) is not exceeded.
•
Do not transport any loads/bags or similar on
your handlebars. This may lead to uncon-
trolled steering errors and endanger you and
other road users.
Clothing
Please consider the following when selecting
cycling kit:
•
Wear light coloured and noticeable clothing to
ensure that you are clearly visible in traffic.
•
Do not wear loose clothing that could catch in
the chain, on the handlebars or in the wheels.
•
Wear cycling glasses to protect your eyes.
Risk of injury
The wearing of suitable clothing, glasses and
a safety helmet reduces the risk of injury while
cycling.
Modifications & add-on accessories
Before you equip your ROTWILD bike with any
accessories, please inform yourself whether
these are permitted and are approved for use
in traffic. Safety-relevant components, such as
handlebars, stems, seat posts, forks etc. should
only be installed or replaced by your ROTWILD
dealer. The ROTWILD bikes are not designed
for fitting a child seat or to pull a child buggy.
As for all T1 models lighting systems, mud
guards, a rack and a side stand can be installed
to the particular mountings. Please contact your
ROTWILD dealer for more information.
Transporting your bike with carrier systems
When using a roof or rear bike carrier, the bike
must be transported standing upright on its
wheels.
Roof carriers
Make sure that all parts that are loosely atta-
ched (e.g. drinking bottle) are removed before
transporting your bike. Carrier systems with
which bikes are attached by their saddles and
handlebars are not permitted because these
parts would be subjected to unnecessarily
high stresses during transportation – risk of
damage!
Make sure that the jaw-fastenings for the down
tube are suitable for aerodynamic profiles. Be
sure to read the instruction for your roof-carrier
carefully and observe the recommended speed
limits. Take note of the increased overall height
of your vehicle and note this on a conspicuous
sticker applied to the dashboard or steering
wheel as a reminder.
Rear-end carrier
Make sure that your bike does not extend
beyond the sides of your vehicle. Make sure
